Kitty only nodded her head trying to endure the pain in her leg as the horse galloped faster gaining distance between them and the starlight people. They had left the feline kingdom around early morning and now it was late afternoon and Kitty has heard no sound in the forest indicating that they were being followed and she could smell a river not far from them. "Zane I think we are far enough the only sounds I can hear are from the animals of the forest nothing form the people in the starlight kingdom and I really need to take some medicine the pain is getting to be to much now." Kitty explained grasping her leg once in awhile.
Zane continued for a little while longer and slowed down by a bunch of trees huddled together. He jumped off and tied the reins to a tree. He reached up and helped Kitty off, carrying her once he helped her off. Once off the horse he sat against a tree still holding her in his arms.

Kitty's leg was in a lot of pain and before Zane helped her off the horse she grabbed the medicine and an apple so she could get ride of the aweful taste the medicine. After he took the medicine she ate the apple fast. Once she finished she held onto Zane tight for she felt bad that she got bit namely when she had no clue when one of the dogs got close to her without knowing it. "I'm sorry I didn't notice the dog get close to bite me usualy I can hear them or sense when stuff like that happen now here am injured again I really am just a target aren't I." Kitty said feeling really bad that this had happen and hoped it didn't thow them off schedule to get to the harbor.
Zane sighs. "Kitty, don't be so hard on yourself. Its alright. I will try the best I can to address the wounds." He lightly places her on the ground and gets the horse a feed bag and water. He satisfies the horses thirst before placing the feed bag around his neck fitting it on his mouth, so he can eat. He sat back down after grabbing some cloth and some more water. He walks back over and sits by Kitty. "I should clean it. Or do you think we should wait. To clean it later."

Kitty shook her head and looked him. "It is better to clean it now so it won't get infected at least that is what I learned from big brother Koji." Kitty said as she looked at the make shift bandage she made with part of the skirt of her dress. "Besides if we don't clean it the dogs might pick up on it and find us again." She said knowing that those dogs were not dumb ones, they were trained very well to be trackers.
He ripped the cloth into strips. One he left rather large, big enough to be the bandage or wrap around the wound. He placed the bigger cloth on his leg, he took the water and wet one of the other strips. He removed the bandage currently wrapped around her leg. He poured water over her leg and started cleaning the wound with one of the cloths. "Grab my shoulder, if it hurts grip my shoulder tighter." He continued to clean her wound. He had cleaned several of his own wounds. Though he didn't know how it felt for her. He had only been bitten by a dog once. It was so long ago he didn't even remember how it healed. He just remembers getting bitten. Though when he was done he wrapped the large cloth around her leg covering the wound. "How is that?"

When Zane was cleaning her wound up she held on tight to Zane's shoulders for it really hurt since it was not one big wound but puncture marks on her leg from teeth. Once he was done Kitty looked at her leg and smiled. "It is fine Zane thanks and I think the medicine is finally taking effect the pain is dulling finally." She said glad that her left was taken care of but it was going to hurt walking on it now. "I hope the rest of our journey will be safe." She said as she still held onto Zane not wanting to let go.
Zane noticed her grip on his shoulder while cleaning her wounds. Once finished he reaches over and picked her up, setting her in his lap. He held her in his arms knowing she felt more comfort that way. "I do to. I hope we have a smoother journey the rest of the way." He put his finger in his pocket and reassured himself the letter with the kings seal was there. It was, he checked his other pocket and pulled out the map. "We are right here." He points at their current location on the map. "It will be a little bit until we reach the ships." He traces his finger on the rest of the path they had left to travel. "Are you hungry or thirsty?"

Kitty shook her head at the food or water. "No I am fine for now thank you though." She said as she snuggled a little in his arms. She had no idea why but she felt very safe in his arms more then even her big brother or sister. "To think we have such a long journey ahead of us." She said as she looked at the map also listening to him on how long it might take. "You know if we were not being hunted down by those starlight people this might have been a fun journey." Kitty said with a small giggle letting Zane have the map back after looking at it.
Zane placed the map back into his pocket. "I think it will get better once we arrive in japan." He said honestly. He continued to hold kitty in his arms, he was hoping there pit stop didn't allow the king and his men get closer. He wanted to leave soon, but he wanted to let kitty rest a bit. "I wish the starlight people where not so cruel. I wish they would give up on their terrible intentions." He held kitty a little closer to him. He couldn't wait to get on the ship and sail to japan.
